It was pretty much universally accepted at one point that if you got into the ring with Mike Tyson, regardless of your skill level or advantages, you were going to get knocked out within 2 rounds. He wasnt used to taking 10 rounds of punches. Mike Tyson is an excellent boxer but his stamina went first. It's in the history books as one of the biggest upsets in history as you said yourself. Up until you guys informed me on the subject, I adamantly denied Mike Tyson got knocked down, citing the 13 second count as a reason, and refused to acknowledge what Buster Douglas achieved. He deserves the credit, now that I believe it's due. All the forces of nature were behind him - and he went the distance with arguably one of the best boxers to exist. He promised his mother who passed before the fight, that he would become champ. But honestly Buster was running on pure determination. I know it's probably touchy, but I want to settle this in my head once and for all.įukin tell me about it. Would love to hear what experienced boxers have to say on this subject. Does the ref have to count to ten seconds or does the ref have to count to ten. From when he went down to when he got up, 13 full seconds had passed. In your opinion, was Buster Douglas given a Long count, or did something else happen that I am missing or failing to see/understand?. Therefore, I am unaware of boxing rules and customs, with few exceptions. I am a martial artist who has a bit of boxing encoprorated into the training regimen, but it's nothing like full on boxing training. I'd like to hear an opinion from actual boxers. "The ref made the count without looking at the timekeeper, which is within the rules" I watched the video, and used a stopwatch, and Douglas absolutely got 13 seconds to rise, however, one person said the following in response: I have always believed Mike Tyson should have been awarded the winner in an 8th round stoppage during their 1990 Japan fight, as Douglas was given a 13 second (long) count when Mike knocked him down.
